There are plenty of examples at
www.msp430.com, look for the Code Example link and download the appropriate (C or ASM) examples. The issue is that, all these examples come as individual C or ASM files, you would need to create a project in IAR with the right settings to do anything useful. This may be the same issue with your experience with Olimex's BSP code.
1.) Goto project options and ame sure you target device is the right chip
2.) On the debugger option, change from Simulator to FET debugger to be able to load the code onto the device via JTAG
3.) On some OS, the JTAG access confligts with Windows Print Spoller, so you can temprorily turn off the service by going to Control Panel >>Administratie Tools >> Services >> Print Spooler Services and stop it.
4.) The IAR Kickstart does not support code coverage, so you can ignore the message.
